Bogdan is right -- this is the license for LAM/MPI.
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but my understanding
is that LAM/MPI is completely free software, even for commercial use.
There are terms about redistributing LAM/MPI (see the license; you
essentially have to cite the copyrights), but that's about it.
That being said, have you looked at Open MPI? LAM/MPI is good, it is
*wholly* in maintenance mode -- there is zero active development
occurring on it. All effort is being put into Open MPI (which has the
same license). I encourage you to look at http://www.open-mpi.org/.
